Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies Starring Shimshi

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!

It's the Mighty Shimshon here, (Shimshi for short), aka The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard.














Once again, it is MY turn to lead My Fursibs on the Weekend Blog Hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Divinely Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Snoozies Selfies blog hop, hosted by Our Dear Furriends, the Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

As you can see, as far as I was concerned, it really was a case of the Sunday Snoozies (mol).

Caspurr was kitnapped on Fursday and taken to have his annual shots and he tells Me that, as Mummy entered the V-e-t's waiting room, the handle broke on his PTU and She dropped him! Caspurr was furry brave, however and didn't freak out - though Mummy got quite a shock!

Anyway, as compensation, although it is MY turn as Blog Hop Leader this week, here is a twofur of Me with Caspurr:













It would not be fair to leave out Trixie, so here is a twofur of Me with her, as well:













As you can see, We have been having lots of sunny days - though We are expecting some rain later this week. But Spring is in the air and will officially start next week, which is a furry nice feeling.  And Mummy is happy too, because she'll be starting two new Open University lecture courses this week, which She will probably write about in her own bloggie some time.


We had lots of fun artifying Our pictures this week.

For My Twofur with Caspurr, We used LunaPic's Surreal Painting filter and then added Cartoon, at 70%:













And for My Twofur with Trixie, We used the Quirky art effect at 80%, and then added the Soft Lighting filter:














Since I am Blog Hop Leader this week, My Own Selfie had to be something Really Special. We used the Edtaonisi art effect at 50%, with a Simply Pawsome, custom designed frame:














Isn't is Splendifurrous?


Next - before We forget - here are the blog hop badges:


     


Time to go now, to give Mummy plenty of time to rest before Caterwauling Purractice this evening. But furrst, to those of you who celebrate it, We want to say: Happy St. Patrick's Day!






Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

It is indeed Splendiferous, Shimshi! Your selfie is furry handsome, and you did a wonderful job of leading the selfies today. We loved seeing Trixie and Caspurr, too!

We are relieved to know that Caspurr was okay after that carrier mishap.

Hugs!

Your selfie, twofurs, and art are all splendid! I especially like the quirky + soft lighting effect, perhaps because it looks like it's glowing with warmth. (We are not glowing with warmth in my part of the world, we're freezing our patooties off!)

Have a lovely, peaceful week.

Your cozy selfie is wonderful Shimshi and your Twosies are as well. Sorry that Caspurr got dropped off at the Vet. I hope y'all have a wonderful week.

Lovely photos! The day I brought Angel Truffles home, while driving down a hill her PTU slid off the back seat and got wedged between the front and back seats. Quite traumatic!

The Island Cats said...

Shimshi! You almost tied yourself in a knot there!

I am sorry I am so late this week, but I'm here. I love the filters, they look quite spectacular!

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Nice to see all of you, in single and double mode. Lovely art, too.

Hope no ill effects happened to Caspurr after the troubles with his carrier, but a nightmare for your Mom!

Adorapurr said...

What a beautiful day yoo are having. You know... my momma is totally scared of having us escape from the bad box on the way to the vet. And the top to the carrier makes her nervous, so she straps a bungee cord around it so there is no possible escape should the box have an accident. Wishing yoo all a beautiful week. Love, Dori

Guys, as always your art is truly ameowzing, and OMC the PTU handle snapped, we can imagine that was quite the fright!
